<h2>
Wagner's Hannover Employment Growth Data
</h2>

<h3>Description</h3>

<p>Wagner (1994) investigates the rate of employment growth (<code>y</code>) as
function of percentage of people engaged in <b>p</b>roducation
<b>a</b>ctivities (<code>PA</code>) and <b>h</b>igher <b>s</b>ervices
(<code>HS</code>) and of the <b>g</b>rowth of these percentages (<code>GPA</code>,
<code>GHS</code>) during three time periods in 21 geographical regions of
the greater Hannover area.
</p>


<h3>Usage</h3>

<pre>data(wagnerGrowth, package="robustbase")</pre>


<h3>Format</h3>

<p>A data frame with <i>21 * 3 = 63</i> observations
(one per <code>Region x Period</code>) on the following 7 variables.
</p>

<dl>
<dt><code>Region</code></dt><dd><p>a <code>factor</code> with 21 levels, denoting
the corresponding region in Hannover (conceptually a &ldquo;block
factor&rdquo;).</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>PA</code></dt><dd><p>numeric: percent of people involved in production activities.</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>GPA</code></dt><dd><p><b>g</b>rowth of <code>PA</code>.</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>HS</code></dt><dd><p>a numeric vector</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>GHS</code></dt><dd><p>a numeric vector</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>y</code></dt><dd><p>a numeric vector</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>Period</code></dt><dd><p>a <code>factor</code> with levels <code>1:3</code>,
denoting the time period, 1 = 1979-1982, 2 = 1983-1988, 3 = 1989-1992.</p>
